The selling of takeaway alcohol had contributed to people gathering in the area, said Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli. Two days after the incident, he said the police had traced some people who were in the gatherings and the"non-Singaporeans" were under investigation.
On May 30, Mr Masagos announced that the seven would be charged for breaching safe-distancing measures at Robertson Quay on May 16.For each charge of flouting COVID-19 regulations, the accused can be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$10,000, or both.
